Between Heaven and Earth: A Guide to Chinese Medicine, by Harriet Beinfield and Efrem Korngold
The promise and mystery of Chinese medicine has intrigued
and fascinated Westerners ever since the "Bamboo Curtain"
was lifted in the early 1970s. Now, in Between Heaven and
Earth, two of the foremmost American educators and healers
in the Chinese medical profession demystify this centuries-
old approach to health. Harriet Beinfield and Efrem Korngold,
pioneers in the practice of acupuncture and herbal medicine
in the United States for over eighteen years, explain the
philosophy behind Chinese medicine, how it works and what
it can do.
